chtown,
ok its a 98 eclipse gsx i did the 6 bolt swap no b/s fidnaza flywheel t3 t4 sc61 turbo and it starts fine idles not bad but just no power i find ver y slack on power. Here are some symptons

high egts

Hard as hell on fuel

Check engine light is on!!

very scarce on power!

I never got my datalogger yet to see whats up. But did any one else have any of these problems after the swap any ideas? Pleae and thanks!!!
 
go to autozone and get ur codes pulled for free. Then i can help u alot easier then. Does the car hesitat if you rev it at idle. Also try reseting the ecu and take it for a quick drive to see if you have the same problems. The ecu will give you like 5 min before it throws a code after reset.
 
You're going to blow that car up if you are running that turbo with NO fuel mods or tuning.

The car NEEDS fuel mods, And NEEDS to be tuned. Honestly, If you don't want to take my advice, Dont. I'll post in your next thread "Help, My car just blew up".
 
he can run that turbo just have to keep the boost down to a bare minimum. Which doesnt make sense. But yea u need fuel and a tuning device for it too. That could be ur problem. You could be leaning out to much.
 
awesome all that and no fuel or tuning mods. sell the turbo to some one who could use it. then go buy a safc, logging equipment, and a stock 14b, run 17 psi that means you need a boost gauge. use a boost controller to. although so many people find the unlimited boost mod attractive they cry when they blow things. then you could probely run like 13s witch is 10x faster than non fuel managed t3t4 power its just not needed. plus a EVOIII is more that sufficient enough for like 12 and better so. I really don't know much about dsms just enough to know its not how you stand next to your blown up car its how you race it. ya and the power comes from tuning tuning tuning.
 
Thats real wise talk did i ask you why u guys bought a 100$ pair of nike shoes no dont be suck ass's anyways i have a 255 pump just never got it in yet i have a greddy electronic boost controller, a boost guage and a pyrometer, and a/f guage! I have a 3" cat back exhaust and intake, upgraded intercooler pipes and bov, all i dont have is injectors and my fuel pump in yet! So im sure that there is no reason at all why i cant drive around on12 psi or so! It would be a different story if i was running 20+ psi! I will get upgraded injectors soon when i can afford it! So thats that!!!!
